by Lightricks
Lightweight 2B video generation model from Lightricks (v0.9.8). Available in dev, distilled, and FP8 variants. The distilled version generates video faster than real-time at lower resolutions. For best quality, use the 13B variant instead.

Frequently asked questions
LTX Video 2B (2B parameters) requires approximately 12.0 GB of VRAM at FP16 precision for generating 25 frames at 768×512. Video generation typically requires more VRAM than image generation due to temporal attention layers.
Yes, the RTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM) can run LTX Video 2B at FP16. Expected generation time is around ~1m 28s for a 25-frame clip.
On a reference GPU (RTX 4090 24GB), LTX Video 2B generates a 25-frame video at 768×512 in approximately ~1m 28s at FP16 with 30 inference steps. Faster GPUs with higher memory bandwidth will reduce generation time.
LTX Video 2B supports up to 1280×720 resolution and 161 frames per generation at 24 FPS. Higher resolutions and frame counts require proportionally more VRAM.
